MC561701 – Updated June 30, 2023: Microsoft has updated the content for clarity. Thank you for your patience.
As Microsoft announced a few months ago, all Yammer surfaces will be undergoing a transformation and will now be known as Viva Engage. Users will experience the new Viva Engage branding across the remaining surfaces, including the website, integrations, SharePoint, Progressive Web App (PWA), embed, email notifications and email digest.
The last step remaining is the URL update, which will occur at the end of this year. Microsoft will provide more details as it gets closer to that milestone. Our team is working tirelessly to ensure a seamless transition, minimizing disruption to your workflow. Microsoft appreciates your continued support and patience throughout this rebranding journey.
Microsoft has updated the previously shared rebranding toolkit to reflect the final timelines. This includes a range of templates, logos, and other resources to help communicate the change. The link to download the Viva-Engage-and-Yammer-rebrand-kit.zip can be found here.

You will continue to experience and benefit from all the powerful features of Viva Engage just as you did with Yammer.
